This Friday (21 March 2014), the inimitable Michael Rosen, hero of children’s literature, will launch The Poetry Potting Shed, marking the start of the ‘Earth’ inspired second season of Spoke, with plenty of free, fun activities for children and families.

Weekend activities for 3 - 6 year olds and their families

Come to the Poetry Potting Shed - pop in and meet Poet in Residence, Niall O'Sullivan, have a listen to some live poetry, get involved in a workshop, or contribute to the installation created by young local poets.
